FHWA’s Office of Transportation Workforce Development and Technology Deployment was officially established in November 2021. Known in the agency as “HIT”—for innovation and technology—our new organization combines the former Offices of Technical Services and Innovative Program Delivery. We began forging our partnership in the year leading up to the official reorganization, building on the synergies among our collective programs and missions. This enhanced collaboration allows us to better support agency and department priorities, meet the needs of the transportation community, and build the expertise of FHWA’s internal workforce.
